In this episode of the Miami Tech Pod, we sit down with Bruno Faviero, founder of Magna, the “Carta for crypto tokens,” to unpack how he built critical infrastructure for the web3 economy and navigated a rollercoaster journey from early traction through the crypto crash to a successful acquisition by Kraken / Payward. This conversation goes deep on building in emerging markets, scaling too fast, and what founders actually get wrong when raising capital.

We cover:

  • How Magna became the system of record for token ownership—and why tokens could replace equity
  • The brutal reality of building through the Terra/Luna and FTX crashes
  • Lessons from raising too much capital too early (and the cost of overhiring)
  • Tactical advice on negotiating with VCs — and avoiding getting taken advantage of
  • Why being a founder might be overrated (and when it’s actually worth it)
  • What Miami still needs to become a true global crypto hub

If you’re building, fundraising, or thinking about starting something in today’s market, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons. Tune in to hear the full story.
